Hillcrest Orchard Dinner

Dinner was planned for outdoors, but the weather took a turn for the worse and was unseasonably cold and wet. So, they moved dinner indoors to the barrel room.

I'll never tire of sunflowers. They're just so beautiful and are great for a summer or autumn table. I love how they added in their pears and local bay leaves for added beauty. My heart aches for bay trees like the ones that grow wild in that area.

Sometimes the most simple ideas are the best. Case in point: the wine bottle candleholders, made from what they had on hand.

The menu:

It was a delicious, cozy, and memorable evening.
